Ok, I guess its time I posted some new pics:

This one confuses me, when I got it all the polyps were the size of a lord, but now all the babys are 1/4 the size. Really weird.

The original polyp.

Going to have to remount this one soon

All that grew from this in nearly 7 months.

The other 2 frags I have of this one.



SEAREEF, can you shead some light on the growth of this one? Thanks.

Hahahahaha, too funny

So that's why those micros glow so much, they must be collected outside of a nuclear reactor

Anyone interested in some weapons grade Micros hehe

Now I know why they named some micros after guns (AK 47).

And Purple would you even tell me if you did see any? hehehe

No here we don't see them. Funny how I think they almost all don't make the next part of the trip outside of the LA/OC layover.

I think you better go diving and collect some yourself, or trade your acans for micros to people in the US.

I would Jake, but you have the same acans as me, plus my biggest acan is only 2 polyps! :-P

Gorgeous Pics!
I just got my first Micros today, what do you guys feed yours, the same as your Lords and Blastos?
I feed my other LPS cyclopeeze, daphnia, and brine.

BTW anyone in South Florida looking for Micros I know of one LFS that can get them in, let me know if you want his number.

sweeet Sang....looking good
BTW I like the clam in the pic.

Hey Greg, I have good luck not feeding believe it or not. They are a little different then acans and blastos. I have had extreme growth not feeding which makes them even cooler then acans. You can feed cyclo or oyster eggs but I don't think anything bigger would go down.

Looking good Sang!

I love not having to feed these little buggers

I was changing 30 gallons a week before when I had to feed the lords daily. I haven't changed water in two weeks or fed in 3 weeks and I have growth on all pieces. It's very gratifying to get great results with no work

Jen and Charles,
Do you get growth out of your Lords as well without feeding? How fast would you say the micros grow?

We get slower growth from the lords now that we don't feed. Micros seem to do the opposite, at first I fed a lot. Then I got lazy and they kept doing thier thing.
